To: Town Clerk <TownClerk@estes.org>
The purpose of this message is to remind the Trustees about the importance of your
strategic plan when applying for grant funds. State and Federal financial assistance
opportunities ask for specific supporting documentation on the projects that are
proposed for these opportunities: plans, studies, community outreach, etc. Your
strategic plan is an important document to support the Town's effort to apply for grant
funds.
Thank you and the best to you as you develop the 2023 strategic plan.

TO STRATIGIC PLANNING GROUP,
I heard there is no money or staff to hire an environmental sustainability expert. Because
global warming is actually dire, I would think the board could declare environmental
sustainability as another top priority along with work force housing and child care. The
publicity from that might generate more individual participation and the board could find ways
to also garner money for this issue. We have many visitors coming through town. Wouldn't it
be great if they could see our efforts which might also spike their interest and action? At the
very least, is there not someone on the board who could take on the project of proposing each
year, implementation of as many of the recommendations in the sustainability task force
report as possible. I believe this committee is planning for this year and 5 years forward so
that is a long time if fixed in the strategic plan.
Again, thank you for this opportunity to voice my opinion and concerns.

Fwd: Emphasize Climate in Comprehensive Plan Mon, Jun 13, 2022 at 6:27 AM
Estes Park Trustees
We urge you to include strong measures in our Comprehensive Plan to make sure the valley can transition away from
polluting fossil fuels. For the well-being of our future generations, it is critical that we make this change as soon as
possible.
Regards,
Don and Barbara Sellers
Fwd: recommendations to help slow climate change Mon, Jun 13, 2022 at 6:28 AM
To the Town Board:
The Environmental Task Force was commissioned to work on recommendations to help combat catastrophic climate
change effects on our planet, especially locally, and especially, I assume, as regards to forest fires and flooding and
changes to our weather and ecology and more. After months, and scores of hours by the volunteer task force, and in
response to their report, I urge the Town Board to take seriously the recommendations made by those dedicated local
citizens.
CSU in Ft. Collins, home to one of the top Climate programs in the country, and world, is moving ahead to encourage
and increase use of solar energy. Estes Park, also in Larimer County, an hour away, should take serious note and do
the same.
Estes Park absolutely should also hire a knowledgeable and caring environmental sustainability manager, who would
work with and report to the Town Administrator, and work with local citizens, on ways to help combat climate change's
devastating ramifications. Included in this work would be new building codes to address fire mitigation, water
conservation, recycling and reducing waste, encouraging electric vehicles, and much more. As the #1 tourist
destination in the state, with well over 5 million visitors/year, and in a state that is one of the most popular to visit for
visitors from across the nation and the world, Estes Park has an important opportunity to demonstrate practices that
could benefit other locales around the country, and even world.
Because we are a well off community, comparatively speaking, with significant tax dollars coming from tourism, we
should include this new position in our priorities for spending, together with childcare and affordable housing.
Thank you for taking seriously the recommendations from the Environmental Task Force that worked as you
requested to come up with recommendations to help our community, including citizens and visitors, to work toward a
more sustainable environment, here in one of the most beautiful and beloved locales in our state and country.
Sincerely,
Carol Dreselly
Fwd: Please follow environmental task force recommendations: promote solar
energy and hire sustainability manager Mon, Jun 13, 2022 at 6:29 AM
Dear Estes Park Town Board:
I am writing to ask that you support the recommendations of the Estes Park environmental task force: promote solar
energy and hire a town environmental sustainability manager, The need for saving the environment is obvious, and
we should do our part to contribute to the salvation of our earth.
Respectfully, Steve Thomas

Fwd: Strategic planning, solar power and environmental sustainability Mon, Jun 13, 2022 at 6:30 AM
To the Trustees of the Town of Estes Park:
Fort Collins encourages solar power generation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and Estes Park should be
doing the same. Please consider that if you make it difficult for homeowners and business to install solar energy
production systems we will never move away from coal as the primary source of electricity in Estes Park. Platte River
Power Authority is neither reducing its fossil fuel burning nor supporting distributed solar energy production, instead
planning to use coal at current levels until 2030. That is too late to prevent the probable 2 deg. C global warming that
is forecast if we don’t stop relying on coal. We need to be generating a lot of solar energy on our rooftops, and
soon! We can’t rely on PRPA to do this for us…. because they won’t.
In your Strategic Planning process, I encourage you to include creating the position of Environmental Sustainability
Coordinator, reporting to the Town Administrator and working with Estes Park citizens to help reach the goal of a
livable climate for future (and current!) life here on Earth.
Thank you.
Claire Hanson
Fwd: Town Study Session 6/13/22 Mon, Jun 13, 2022 at 12:30 PM
Dear Town of Estes Trustees,
Please hear my request to consider in your study session today to prioritize 'climate change' as well as other issues of
equal important in the town such as housing, child care, etc. The importance given to the future of those who deserve
great child care, our youngest in Estes Park; is of equal important the issue we increasing face with more fires,
drought & floods. The climate has changed
I encourage you to live to this audio clip from this NPR program aired last night on KUNC Radio of Northern CO.
Living on Earth: Landmark Decision For Climate Active:
https://loe.org/shows/segments.html?programID=22-P13-00023&segmentID=4
The pertinence of the landmark decision in the Nederlands is pertinent to Estes Park today. A quote from
Living on Earth: "government must act on its obligation to protect its citizens from the dangers of climate
change.” Without actions on behalf of ordinary trustees to recognize their responsibility to employ
safeguards for a livable planet, citizens will rise up to demand change to prioritization in protecting a
warming planet. A warming Estes Park!
Climate Action: "That Dutch Supreme Court landmark decision is the first-time citizens have succeeded in
suing their own government for failing to meet the challenge of the climate crisis. Marjan Minnesma joins me
now for more.”
Thank you for listening to citizens across ’the pond’ (the Nederlands)
Thank you for listening to me
Sincerely,
Linda Buehring
